SE Wyoming Weekend Weather: Rain, But Not Enough To Really Help

SE Wyoming Weekend Weather: Rain, But Not Enough To Really Help

It looks like Cheyenne and Laramie residents can expect a pretty typical weekend for this time of year: showers, and then warmer weather.

The bad news? The rain probably won't be enough to help the drought conditions or seriously dampen the fire danger. But we should see another round of showers by about Tuesday or so.

That's according to the Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service. The agency posted the following on it's website:

A cold front moving through the area this evening will bring improved moisture, cooler temperatures, and more cloud cover into the High Plains for Friday. There will be some patchy morning fog both Friday and Saturday mornings. The next warming trend resumes Saturday, with a chance for scattered PM showers and isolated thunderstorms. Widespread wetting rainfall is unlikely. Conditions will dry into Sunday and Monday, which will increase wildfire danger over the High Plains along with expected gusty winds. Each day will bring a few PM showers but rainfall will again be minimal. A disorganized storm system will bring cooler temperatures and a slightly better chance for rain and high elevation snow showers Tuesday into Wednesday. Breezy to windy conditions are also likely behind the system.

Exploring The Lost Town Of Yoder Wyoming

Between Cheyenne and Torrington, but mostly closer to Torrington, and just off of Highway 85, is, or was, the tiny town of Yoder, Wyoming. For such a forgotten place, you would be surprised at how well-kept it is. Population 133.
